CliffsNotes on Conrad's Heart of Darkness & The Secret Sharer (Cliffsnotes Literature Guides)

Dec 04, 2022

it was amazing

We are reviewing the "notes", not the book or movie

I could not stand reading or watching anything about Vietnam for about 10 years. I eventually watched the movie “Apocalypse Now" I found it interesting but it did not relate to anything in the central highlands. Later I saw "Pork Lips Now" and could relate this to the movie. Finally, someone told me that the whole thing was based on "Heart of Darkness”. So I decided to read the book. I found it fascinating and much better than the movie. However, I could not see the forest of trees and needed some help in showing me what I was looking at. Because I was not in some school class, I turned to the "Cliffs Notes" Of course my views don't match the notes exactly but they gave me some questions to ask and showed me the forest. The notes include:
· Life of the Author
· Introductions to the Novel
· Lists of Characters
· Brief Plot Synopses
· Summaries & Critical Commentaries
· Critical Essay
· Suggested Essay Topics
· Selected Bibliography
Later I found a movie that was much closer to the original story,
"Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death" (1988)
